Rise of the Runelords

Game Master Bpa144

"I'm Jiessi. Every soul passes by the Lady of Graves and her Boneyard before they are escorted to their godhome." She looks at Father Zantus, "Some are blessed to be escorted to better places."

"Indeed," Prophet replies to Jiessi. "It is good to see another of faith."

Prophet glances about, strapping his hanbo to his back and pulling a strip of his shirt to the side, revealing a sash underneath that appears to have several stakes of wood in straps. He removes one of these, quickly replacing the fabric to hide the spikes from easy view. He cocks his head to one side, apparently listening for any more sounds of distress, clutching the stake tightly in his right hand.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

On the noormal goblins you find that each is only wearing leather armor and each have a dogslicer, as well as a shortbow and 20 arrows. The signing goblin had on her a potion, studded leather, a dogslicer, a shortbow with 20 arrows, whip, and 20gp.
You don't how ever find any clues as to why they are here.

Jito gathers a shortbow, 20 arrows, and the potion. He then takes the gold that was found and hands out 4gp to each of the new heroes.

"I found some leather armor over this way but it may be too small for any of us. Each of the goblins had a shortbow and some arrows and there was also a whip. I'm not certain how proficient any of you may be in such things. We all seem to have our specialties though."

Jiessi hands the 4 gold to the Father Zantus, "for your services" She shakes her head that she has no interest in the goblin items. She would make sure she retrieved the starknife and after cleaning it would re-sheath the deadly weapon. "So, Father have the goblins been active near the town recently? Any news or rumors from the townpeople?"

Prophet also hands the gold to the Father. He stands silently, still waiting to see if he'll be needed elsewhere.

"Tahnk you for your offering, I will give it to the church. I have not heard anything about goblin activity in the area, this attack was sudden and unexpected."

Father Zantus seems to about to continue talking when you all hear someone yelling for help in the distance.

Since Prophet handed the gold to the Father, I assume he is close to her.

"The yell came form over there," pointing, "come on Prophet." She begins to run in the direction of the scream. Trying to keep a watchful eye on her surroundings.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Prophet takes off with Jiessi, sprinting as fast as he can.

Akaash looks at the people running off and follows them

Jito looks at Bala as everyone takes off no sooner than they've been introduced. Bala shakes his head and let's out a tiny shriek.

"Yes, let us stay together and see what the new ruckus is about."

They head off chasing the others.

So I don't know what happened to James, I'll probably send him a PM to see if he is still with us.

You all rush off to where you heard the scream. You arrive in front of the White deer and near the north gate of town. There you find a man hiding behind barrels in front of the white Deer while his dog is in combat with a goblin. The goblin is mounted on what appears to be an ugly, hairless dog. Just as you arrive the goblin strikes down the dog, and goblins who were hiding nearby come out and shriek with delight. The goblins have not noticed any of you yet.

Jiessi needs to selectively channel and heal herself. She moves to try to flank the goblin-dog and the rider.

If anyone needs healing she would channel the energy there way, specifically leaving Prophet out of the positive energy.

1d6 ⇒ 3

Jito keeps his distance seeing several goblins pop out. He determines the rider is the more important and sends forth a hex.

Cast Misfortune on the goblin rider; DC15 will save negates
Cackle as a move action; extend misfortune one round

Prophet pulls out of his run to hold his hanbo before him, horizontally. He grips it with both hands, closes his eyes, and mutters quietly. If anyone can hear him, it seems to be a prayer to Pharasma, asking for guidance and strength to defeat his foes.

Jito sneaks up along side the building across the street from the White Deer. The corpse of the dog incenses him and he gestures with his fingers and casts daze at the goblin rider.

You can tell me if you want to go with your origonal move action or go with cackle.

Akaash: Moves to N31, still has standard action

Goblins: Two goblins move to James (one moves to j9 and the other moves to j11) and attack him

Jeissi

Current MAP

Prophet lashes out at the goblin nearest him, punching forward with the wooden stake at the creature's face.

Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21
Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

After the blow lands, Prophet slips past the goblins (moving to I-12). Weaving back and forth to avoid giving up an opening, he is muttering to himself, and you hear his prayer: "Yea, though I walk through the shadow of your domain, I fear not, for you are with me, o Pharasma; your blade protects me..."

I'm going to need an acrobatics check to tumble or the goblins will take AoOs on you.

Wow, completely forgot that part...
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Drat! I missed yesterday's posting.

Jiessi moves forward to K9 and attack the goblin James is fighting.

Starknife: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 191d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

I think we are waiting on Jito and Akaash to act. DM is there a map update?

Wow I must've misread something. Cackle is a move action but it also has a range limit. For Round 1 I need to move to L10 and I would like to Cackle as a double move. Misfortune persists but I will not be able to cast Daze due to the double move. Sorry for the delay.

Ok, then the goblin commando is not dazed.

The goblin commando moves to b17 and attacks the Prophet with his shortbow.

Attack1: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
attack2: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

And misses.

Round update to come soon

The other goblin went after the Prophet and missed.

The Prophet: The prophet hit the golbon back dealing 3 damage, then tumbles to a better vantage point.

Prophet finishes his prayer, having safely maneuvered between the goblins. Glancing around, he quickly decides that the one on the large rat-like beast is the most dangerous. Slowly walking toward it (move action to E16), he holds out his holy symbol in one hand, chanting, until he builds in volume to shout, "May the Grey Lady give you peace, for you shall receive none from me!"

Casting wrath, focused on the goblin commando.
